My rant of the day

On the way home from the book store (did you know one of Rush Limbaugh's wives left him Christmas weekend?) I saw a car repair center being built where I once saw cattle grazing.

Fools.

California contains some of the best farm land in the world.

Much of it was ruined when LA forgot it's agrarian roots.

You know why film makers first came to southern California?

Because of the clean air that could be found there.

Now they perfer to film outdoor scenes in British Columbia where there still is clean air.

Today the urban sprawl and with it urban flight, plight, and blight is expanding from Sacramento and invading rural communities in Northern California.

I hear similar things happening in Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and the other states that feed America.

Will the day come when all of our food is bought from China?

Will the day come when we have no choice but to farm Yellowstone?

Every time I see a building erected on fertile land I am reminded of a saying attributed to the great Chief Seattle;

"Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realise that we can not eat money."
